THE EFFECT OF DIR. MGLYNN's STATEMENT ON HIS
TRANSFORMERS
The New York Times says: number OF the
parishioners Of st. Stephens church were inter-
viewed and it is evident that DR.. Nc
Glynn'S statement has much cooled their
ardor. They all interpret 1t to mean
that he will not go TO Rome. As the Nc
Glynn fund was raised for the purpose Of
enabling him to go there in a becoming manner,
many OF the Pensioners are now asking, sWhat
shall be done with ii, now that he is not going?'

mittee has been formed in St. stephens parish by

teress OF the church in opposing the taking OF col
lecttons. To-Day as tt is the first sunday of the

pay their contributions to the McGlynn fund.
AN ADDRESS TO CATHOLICS
The committee appointed at the Cooper Union
McGlynn meeting appeals to Catholics to raise a
fund for DR.. McGlynn without reference to the
question whether he is going to Rome or not. The
committee says:
"The Irish people refused to permit interference
in their national affairs by the ecclesiastical a-
thOritieS in Rome. Shall American Catholics toll
crate it? We are good and loyal Catholics, and we
are resolved to be true to our church, but we are
also American citizens, and we are resolved to
suffer no invasion OF our rights such, no matter
from what quarter attempted"

SHOT FROM BISHOP GILMoUR.
A dispatch received from Cleveland says that
Bishop Gilmour has published the following letter:
CDR. McGlynn, in his defense, as published yes
terday through the Associated Press says: among
those who denounced me to Rome for my land
league speeches was Bishop Gilmour, of Cleve-
land. This Is incorrect. l did not denounce DR..
McGlynn because OF his land league speeches. but
l did complain to Rome that Dr. McGlynn had
come to Cleveland, and there to the scandal of
ALL had placed himself, in defiance OF authority, at
the head of a band Of women whom had found it
necessary to eXcOmmunicate because OF their
unWOmanly conduct. Defiance OF authority,
OF which Dr. McGlynn was guilty in Cleveland In
1882, Is very different from defending and teach
ing the principles Of the land league. COM
planned OF DR.. McGlynn because OF his defiance Of
authority not because OF his advocacy OF the land
